Beautify Your Blog- How to Link Facebook & Twitter

You can post a Facebook status update and have it converted automatically into a tweet! This will save you time, so you're not going back and forth between the different social media sites. To do so, simply visitfacebook.com/twitter. You will need to use your personal facebook page to make the changes.

On this page, you’ll be able to link all your pages to twitter – including any business pages you may have. All you do is click on the Link to Twitter button:

You’ll then be taken to a Twitter page that will ask you to sign in to your Twitter account (if you haven’t already) to confirm the link.

Enter your Twitter username and password (the login that matches the Twitter account you’re trying to link to the corresponding Facebook account (if you’re signed in to the wrong Twitter account you’ll be given the option to sign out first and re-login)) and click on Allow.After a short “redirecting back to the application” notice, you’ll be taken back to Facebook, where you’ll see the following screen:

Under the “edit settings” option, you can decide how much information you want to share with Twitter. After you “save changes” you’ll be able to simply post a status update in Facebook (remember to keep it under the 140 character Twitter max, and leave 3 characters for a RT (ReTweet), so 137 characters total), and Facebook will automatically send a link back to your Twitter page where a status update will automatically be posted for you. This saves you from the time of having to login to both services and post updates.

How to Unlink Twitter from Facebook

Note that you also have the option of undoing this link at anytime by visiting facebook.com/twitter. This is not an application by a third-party, but the official Facebook / Twitter integration. On this page, simply select the “unlink from Twitter” link next to the Twitter accounts you no longer wish to have associated with their respective Facebook pages. Incidentally, you can also access this connection from within Twitter.
